Brief Description 3 The work involves: • formulating policies and strategies for the provision of leisure and sports facilities and activities with particular focus on physical fitness and sports safety; • developing and managing leisure facilities such as sports centres, parks and gardens, swimming pools, gazetted beaches, tennis courts and holiday camps; • organising recreation, sports and leisure activities; 726 Head 95 — LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT • providing subvention to “national sports associations” (NSAs) and sports organisations for training of athletes and organising leisure and sports activities; and • providing subvention to 25 holiday camps and sea activity centres managed by 12 non-government organisations to provide recreational activities for members of the public. The subvention helps towards meeting operating expenses on staff costs, rents and rates, and minor repairs. 4 In 2013, the Department continued to organise a wide range of recreation and sports programmes with a view to developing a strong sporting culture in Hong Kong and promoting “Sport for All”. The “Healthy Exercise for All” Campaign, aimed at encouraging the general public to participate regularly in sports and physical activities to stay healthy, continued to be well received by the public. To further promote community sport, a Sport For All Day was organised on 4 August to provide free sports programmes and facilities. Pursuant to the findings of the second territory-wide Physical Fitness Test for the Community, the Department has mapped out a work plan with a view to raising public awareness of the benefits of regular participation in sports and other physical activities. More diverse recreation and sports programmes were organised to meet the specific needs of different target groups on a continual basis. The Young Athletes Training Scheme continued to provide enhanced training for young athletes in selected sports with a view to identifying talented athletes for further training. The seven subsidiary programmes under the School Sports Programme, namely Sport Education, Easy Sport, Sport Captain, Outreach Coaching, Joint Schools Sports Training, Badges Award Scheme and Sports Award Scheme were continuously organised for students of primary, secondary and special schools. The three-year School Sports Programme Coordinator Pilot Scheme, which was launched in September 2012 to foster a stronger sporting culture in schools and to provide a career training platform for retired athletes, has been running smoothly. 5 The Department continued to promote the utilisation of sports centres. The Free Use Scheme, with bookings largely made by schools, promoted the utilisation of selected sports facilities during non-peak hours. System upgrading and enhancements were made to the Leisure Link computerised booking system, which continued to provide booking services to the public through four channels, namely, booking counters located throughout the territory, telephone, the Internet and self-service kiosks. 6 The Department conducted a comprehensive review of the current mechanism for booking and allocating sports facilities and implemented a number of improvement measures in 2013 in consultation with various stakeholders including the District Councils and sports organisations. Measures introduced included shortening the advance booking period for individual hirers from 30 days to ten days in mid-June 2013 and cancellation of the “standby” arrangement for turf football pitches as a long-term arrangement in mid-December 2013 following the completion of the six-month trial period. The Department will put in place further measures in 2014–15 and review the effectiveness of these measures. 7 The Public Swimming Pool Monthly Ticket Scheme was introduced on 5 July 2012 with the aim of making regular swimming more affordable and encouraging the public to maintain a healthy lifestyle by swimming regularly. The Scheme was well received by the public, especially the elderly, with over 73 000 tickets sold in the first year. 8 The Department continued to provide subvention to 25 holiday camps and sea activity centres under the management of 12 non-government organisations, and assist these organisations in maximising the utilisation of their facilities. 9 In 2013, the Department completed the fee alignment for some 800 fee items in respect of leisure facilities and services, having regard to the principle of aligning the differential fees in the urban area and the New Territories based on the lower of the two levels. On this basis, the licence fees for public bowling-alleys, public skating rinks and billiard facilities were aligned with effect from 19 July 2013, while those for about 540 recreation and sports facilities took effect from 1 August. Alignment of some 280 fee items of community recreation and sports programmes were also implemented from 1 October. 10 The Department continued to administer the sports subvention scheme for NSAs to support their work in the promotion and development of sport in Hong Kong. The Department has fully implemented the recommendations of the comprehensive review of the sports subvention scheme and will monitor the effectiveness of the improvement measures. The Department will continue to work with the Independent Commission Against Corruption to help NSAs enhance their corporate governance in a progressive manner. 11 The 4th Hong Kong Games (HKG) was held from 27 April to 2 June 2013 with 3 137 athletes taking part in eight sports competitions and over 400 000 people participating in its related publicity and public participation activities. The HKG has helped enhance the community’s cohesiveness and promote a stronger sporting culture in the community through friendly competitions and community activities. 12 With the commissioning of the Advance Disinfection Facilities of the Harbour Treatment Scheme Stage 2A in March 2010 and the consequent improvement in water quality in the western part of the Victoria Harbour, the Department reopened four beaches in Tsuen Wan, namely Lido Beach, Casam Beach, Approach Beach and Hoi Mei Wan Beach, for public use in June 2011. For the remaining three beaches in the district, Anglers’ Beach re-opened on 20 September 2013 while Gemini Beaches and Ting Kau Beach will re-open in March 2014 after the completion of improvement works. 727 Head 95 — LEISURE AND CULTURAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT 13 The key performance measures in respect of recreation and sports services are: Targets 2012 2013 2014 Target (Actual) (Actual) (Plan) participants in recreation and sports programmes ................................................................1 785................................ 000 2 140 254..... 2 534 645 2 141 000β participants in school sports programmes ................................520 000 ............................609 190 610 720 611 000 participants

  • Culture and Sport
    CULTURE AND SPORT Culture and Sport Eastern and western cultures have co-existed in Macao for over 400 years. A wide variety of cultural traditions, languages, values, religious beliefs, and customs have all existed side by side and influenced one another. Out of this melting pot, a regional culture unique to Macao has gradually developed into its present richness. Macao’s culture is thus a diverse mixture, with traditional Chinese culture as its heart, and it has assimilated Western, particularly Portuguese, cultural influences in perfect harmony. Following its policy of promoting Chinese culture while preserving the unique pluralistic cultural heritage of Macao, the Government has hosted various cultural and artistic activities invited art troupes from mainland China and overseas, as well as Macao, to perform. These have created opportunities for audiences to learn more about the history, society, and culture of different regions, as well as enhancing cultural exchange and the quality of cultural life of Macao’s residents. Cultural Affairs Bureau The Cultural Affairs Bureau is a Government department that sets out the Government’s key objectives in cultural matters. The bureau is responsible for protecting cultural heritage, giving guidance on aesthetic appreciation, supporting community organisations, nurturing talent in arts and culture, developing local cultural industries, as well as organising cultural entertainment programmes, such as concerts, exhibitions, seminars, music classes, dance, drama courses, Macao International Parade, Macao International Music Festival, Macao Arts Festival, Macao City Fringe Festival, China Cultural Heritage Day, Macao Youth Music Competition and Macao Annual Visual Arts Exhibition. It also provides subsidies for different cultural and art programmes as well as scholarships to support the publication of research and advanced studies about arts.

  • An Evaluation of 48 Leisure and Cultural Sites Along Victoria Harbour: Suggestions for a Vibrant Hong Kong Harbour-Front
    An Evaluation of 48 Leisure and Cultural Sites along Victoria Harbour: Suggestions for a Vibrant Hong Kong Harbour-front An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in cooperation with Designing Hong Kong, Ltd., Hong Kong on February 20, 2009 Submitted By: Submitted To: Nathaniel Jannetti Paul Zimmerman, Sponsor Liaison Aubrey Scarborough Project Advisors: Paul Smith Professor Jeanine Skorinko Elizabeth Tuite Professor Stanley Selkow Abstract Even though Hong Kong is well known for its waterfront views, Victoria Harbour uses little of its waterfront to the fullest potential. From past research, we identified four main qualities essential to a beneficial harbour-front: accessibility, connectivity, quality and design/maintenance. After observing forty-eight sites around Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour, we indicated both positive and negative qualities that added or detracted from the site’s vibrancy. We found that a mix of facilities, amenities and activities at water's edge can make Victoria Harbour a more popular destination for both residents and tourists. Our report presents findings and suggestions for the improvement of Hong Kong. ii Acknowledgements We would like to express the deepest appreciation to the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, Harbour-front Enhancement Committee, Hong Kong University, Harbour Business Forum and Designing Hong Kong, LTD. To Paul Cheung, Paul Zimmerman, Roger Nissim, Elanna Tam, David Chaiong, Brenda Fung, Terry Ma, Mee Kam Ng, Andrew Thompson, Maggie Brooke, Stanley Selkow and Jeanine Skorinko, we thank you for your enthusiasm and support. All of you have made the course of this project and our personal time here the experience of a lifetime.

  • National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience
    Date 2nd version : 04/07/2006 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience Ben Gu Director Acquisitions & Cataloging Department / Online Library Cataloging Center National Library of China Meeting: 109 Bibliography Simultaneous Interpretation: Yes WORLD LIBRARY AND INFORMATION CONGRESS: 72ND IFLA GENERAL CONFERENCE AND COUNCIL 20-24 August 2006, Seoul, Korea http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla72/index.htm Abstract The printed version of the China National Bibliography was first published in 1987 and ceased to be published in 1994. It is replaced by the online services provided by the National Library of China. Because of the present situation of legal deposit policies in China, the national bibliography has narrow coverage. There is another kind of “national bibliography” with wider coverage, but not done by librarians. In China, there are also problems of different forms of name authorities and different MARC records. The National Library of China is considering a National Union Catalog to improve the national bibliographical services. 1 National Bibliographies: the Chinese Experience / by Ben Gu, National Library of China China National Bibliography: History China National Bibliography (中国 国家书目(1985)) was first published in 1987. It was compiled by the National Bibliography Compiling Committee under the National Library of China. It included 17,000 titles, covering all the monographs published in 1985, some monographs published in 1984 and some new and renamed periodicals. An index volume was also published at the same time1. The printed version of the China National Bibliography ceased to be published in 1994 because of the financial problem. Now, it is almost impossible to publish a printed version of China National Bibliography, because: 1.
